Ribosome biogenesis is a conserved, energy-intensive pathway that assembles ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and ribosomal proteins into functional small (40S) and large (60S) subunits. In eukaryotes, synthesis ...

Within a cell, DNA carries the genetic code for building proteins. To build proteins, the cell makes a copy of DNA, called mRNA. Then, another molecule called a ribosome reads the mRNA, translating it ...

Cryo-electron microscopy structures of paenilamicin-stalled ribosomes showed that it has a unique ribosome-binding site located between the A- and P-site tRNAs. Additional biochemical assays ...

Scientists at UCL have discovered a novel role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in cells, described in their paper in Nature. Ribosomes, the cell's dedicated molecular machines ...

Researchers from the Tanenbaum group at the Hubrecht Institute have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ribosomes function in cells. With this method, they can monitor individual ...

The viral type 2 internal ribosome entry site uses a unique mechanism to hijack the host ribosomal machinery by interacting with initiator tRNA and 40S head.

A new technique reveals ribosome cooperativity, providing new insights into protein production. Researchers from Marvin Tanenbaum’s group at the Hubrecht Institute (Utrecht, Netherlands) have ...

In a study published in Nature Communications, researchers at Karolinska Institutet have mapped key steps in the assembly of ...

These spots are socRNAs being translated by ribosomes in a cell. They get brighter over time, showing active translation. The complex, which includes the socRNA and ribosome, is attached to the plasma ...
